about a young Cuban American girl who discovers that shes one of the nine

Callie Martinez-Silva is finally getting the hang of this
whole goddess within thing. Six months after learning she was one of the nine
muses of ancient myth, she and the other junior muses are ready for new
adventures. Except first Callie has to go to New York City for the summer to
visit her dad, stepmom, and new baby brother.

Then the muses get startling news: an unprecedented tenth
muse has been awakened somewhere in Queens, putting Callie in the perfect
position to help find her. And shell have helpthanks to a runaway mold
problem in London, Muse Headquarters is moving to the New York Hall of Science.

But balancing missions and family-mandated arts camp proves
difficult for Callie, especially once mysterious messages from spiders (yikes!)

Now Callie and her friends have to make a choice: follow
orders and find the tenth muse or trust that sometimes fate has other plans.
